Friends & PTA COMMITTEE

The roles of the Friends & PTA Committee are:

  • To raise the extra money for resources and equipment that the school budget does not stretch to. Whatever it raises is always carefully spent to ensure the children at WIJPS benefit directly.
  • To assist the school with a programme of various festivals and events.

Activities and events

The Committee holds various fund-raising events throughout the school year. Past events include a school disco, bingo night, movie night, ladies pamper night and our popular winter fete.

School uniform

The Committee sells various items of school uniform throughout the year and all the profits are ploughed straight back into the school. Order forms are available from the school office.

Monies raised

Over the past few years, the Committee has raised over £80,000. With that money, it has purchased, at the school’s request, a large number of essential items. These include:

-       A top of the range adventure playground

-       Outdoor gazebo

-       New sports equipment

-       Classroom resources

-       Whiteboards for every classroom

-       New WIFI for the whole school

-       Two water fountains

Remember, it is only with the support of the parents that we are able to raise much needed cash. Thank you to all those who have supported us in the past and we very much look forward to seeing you – and some new faces – at future events. Remember, every penny raised goes back into the school which ultimately benefits our children!!
